A Silver routine misses two A Value Parts (with no B substitution). What is the Start Value?

• A. 9.60
• B. 9.80
• C. 9.90
• D. 9.70

Answer: (B)

Start Value shows the maximum difficulty credited for the routine based on the elements performed, with a cap of 10.0. Each A value element is worth 0.10. If a Silver routine misses two A value parts and there’s no B substitution to offset, you don’t gain those two A values, so the Start Value drops by 0.20 from the top possible 10.0. That leaves 10.0 minus 0.20, which is 9.80. So the Start Value in this scenario is 9.80.
